Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007118450A1] Disclosed is a particle-optical corrector for eliminating third-order spherical aberration and third-order coma with the aid of round lenses and hexapole fields. Said corrector is composed of three coaxially arranged hexapole fields. One respective round lens doublet is disposed between adjacent hexapole fields and is adjusted such that the central hexapole field is reproduced onto the hexapole fields while an intermediate plane comes to lie between the hexapole fields, the intermediate planes being conjugate and the three hexapole fields being oriented the same way in the Larmor reference system. Furthermore, the intensities of the three fields are selected such that the threefold astigmatism coefficient amounts to 0. The inventive corrector comprises two couples of hexapole fields in which the fields of each couple of hexapole fields are excited asymmetrically relative to one another while the respective couples are placed around the two intermediate planes. The alignment of the couples of hexapole fields is rotated by such an angle relative to the alignment defined by the hexapole fields that the third-order coma is corrected.
